If it’s therapy between multiple family members that you need, we have therapists with experience.
Family therapy can be a great place to start or the perfect place to “end up.” When one member of the family is having issues, it affects EVERY member. How each person copes with problems is unique. If there is one thing a family therapist might share it would be this: When each person works to “own their part,” change is more likely to occur. Sometimes, it works best if individual therapy comes first—there may be a history of misunderstandings that need to be worked through before you all get together in the same room. Family therapy is even possible online. Each member can join from separate rooms, or they can sit together—just like in person. Learning the basics of healthy communication, identifying hidden resentments, and exploring unspoken family “rules” can be tough, but absolutely worth it. Let our therapists help to bring your family closer.

You are an exceptional parent.
That’s why you’re here.
You are the expert on your child,
and you know that sometimes children need extra support.
That’s why we’re here.
Your child is experiencing a whirlwind of negative emotions, triggered by “anything and everything”. It’s difficult to even keep track anymore.
One minute they seem to be happy. The next minute they’re having a meltdown.
The cause of the meltdown, however big or small, isn’t the problem. How they handle these situations is the real issue.
As parents, you wish you could remove every barrier throughout your child’s life so that they never have to encounter anything that causes them to feel upset.
But the truth is, you can’t. Your child will have to hear the word “no” throughout their life. They will have to follow rules that aren’t fun. They’ll have to experience situations that don’t seem fair. They won’t always get their way, and they won’t win every game.
I get it! No one likes these experiences, but if everyone had a meltdown every time we encountered them, imagine what the world would look like. Let’s teach your child some ways to handle them early-on.
Anxiety and sadness may also cause your child to avoid necessary tasks like going to school, spending time with family, or doing their chores.
Managing and communicating negative emotions is difficult for a child. Their natural response to these feelings may be to scream in anger, throw a tantrum or ignore everyone in tearful silence.
Here’s the good news.
No child is “born with” the tools to manage their emotions, but these skills can be easily learned!
Throughout this journey, your child will begin using their words to communicate their feelings and using their coping skills to regulate their emotions.
You will learn ways to help your child when they’re upset and techniques to manage their behaviors.
Like most parents, you’re not sure where to begin.
I will be your expert guide throughout the whole process- from the first phone call to the final therapy session.
Again, you are the expert, so let’s work together to find a successful treatment path for your child.

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Parenting can be incredibly challenging, especially without a manual and with constantly changing research on effective strategies. The pressure to be a "pinterest parent" can add to the overwhelm. If you often find yourself thinking, "I'm failing my kids," or "I'm not doing enough," let's work together to shift those negative narratives. We can focus on fostering a deeper connection with yourself and your children, explore evidence-based parenting skills, and examine the beliefs and thoughts that influence your responses as a parent. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone—let's work through it together.
